~:[CH12 - Day 136]:~ Finding Your Match
Today we completed one of my favorite activities of the year, North meets South. While discussing international trade in economics, I assign the students countries as they learn about their imports and exports and what makes them attractive trading partners. They then create their trading (dating) profiles to try to entice other countries to be their match. It's fun as they eagerly share what they have to offer and what they're looking for in a trading partner. It was fun hearing students offer up their packaged medicine looking for a country with broadcast equipment. Their puns and pickup lines were even better as they talked about their boats, delivery trucks, precious metals and the like. In the end, two countries couldn't find a match while the others quickly found their match. It's always a joy to have an activity that students enjoy and today was that day. Amidst all the chaos of handing out the apparel that finally arrived, a relaxing meeting at lunch and more piles of work, this definitely activity definitely left me on cloud nine.
